SomewhereinTime:
I am a really new nebie here (looks like you too) and I just read these 13 charactaristics yesterday...........I wasn't even in a "bad" mood and I started to cry because so many of these hit home. It sounds like we have a lot in common. I too have a very understanding and caring person in my life right now..........and I too "slip". The last slip almost made him leave me.........and what's so sick about that is I almost felt relieved when he was ready to leave because being abandoned felt "normal". I don't know HOW to interact with someone who is patient, loving and unconditionally there for me. It's not that I WANT to be abandoned, but it just feels normal. I am lucky that this wonderful man IS still around, but if I don't "fix" my issues..........it wouldn't be fair for me to expect him NOT to leave.
Here's to finding those "fixes"
